Charlotte residents should prepare for potentially dangerous weather conditions Friday night into Saturday morning, according to WBTV CBS News meteorologists. The National Weather Service has issued warnings for severe thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and possible tornado activity across the metro area, with the most intense conditions expected between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. Local emergency management officials are urging families to have emergency plans ready and to avoid unnecessary travel during peak storm hours. The severe weather system particularly threatens outdoor events and could impact weekend activities across predominantly Black neighborhoods in east and west Charlotte, where flooding has historically been more severe due to aging infrastructure.
